How to visualize data
Visualizing the data we’re working with is indispensible both to check that data pipelines are set up correctly and to check the predictions of a trained model. For visualization, the Makie.jl plotting package is used which requires you to install a plotting backend . Learning tasks define how the data is visualized, allowing you to use the following functions for visualization:
-
showsample(showsamples): Visualize an unprocessed sample (usually a pair of inputs and targets) or a vector of samples. -
showencodedsample(showbatch): Visualize processed model input and outputx, yor a batch ofxsandys. -
showprediction(showpredictions): Compare a model output with the ground truth.
To add support for these to a learning task, you have to implement the plotting interface for a block:
showblock!
.
Let’s look at an example using the Cat/Dog classifier from the saving and loading tutorial .
import
